Abstract

Globalization brings changes in various fields, one of which is the transportation sector. Currently, there is a massive change in the transportation system in urban areas such as Surabaya. Modernization of transportation in Surabaya has occurred since 2021 through the policy of providing modern transportation such as Suroboyo Bus and Trans Semanggi. Both transportations have a big impact on the lives of pedicab drivers in Bratang Terminal. This research aims to analyze the form of transportation progress and how the power relations between the government and becak drivers in the context of structural poverty. Using a qualitative approach with observation, interview, and documentation techniques, as well as analysis of Michel Foucault's power relations theory, this study found that non-inclusive transportation policies have created a new form of domination that marginalizes informal worker groups, in this case becak drivers. The modernization has caused them to experience a significant decrease in income, loss of participation space, and increased socio-economic vulnerability of pedicab drivers. These findings suggest that efficiency-based policies without considering social sustainability can exacerbate inequality. Therefore, transportation policies that are not only environmentally friendly and efficient, but also socially just and participatory are needed to ensure that no group is excluded from the urban development process.

Abstract

Dalam industri hiburan Indonesia, fenomena pembatalan budaya menjadi masalah sosial yang kompleks. Ini terjadi di era digital, di mana pembatalan kolektif artis dan figur publik terjadi secara cepat dan massif melalui media sosial. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menyelidiki bagaimana cancel culture dibentuk dan dipengaruhi oleh struktur sosial, nilai kolektif, dan dinamika kekuasaan di industri hiburan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dari sudut pandang sosiologi budaya dengan metode wawancara mendalam terhadap 15 informan (5 artis, 5 audiens, 5 pengamat industri), observasi partisipan di media sosial, dan analisis konten dokumen sekunder selama 6-12 bulan. Analisis tematik mengidentifikasi empat tema utama: (1) cancel culture sebagai kontrol sosial informal, (2) media sosial sebagai arena pertarungan simbolik, (3) dinamika identitas kolektif dan representasi budaya, dan (4) implikasi psikologis bagi pelaku industri. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa cancel culture berfungsi sebagai cara informal untuk mengontrol sosial dan memperkuat norma budaya yang dominan. Selain itu, ia menjadi tempat pertempuran simbolik di ruang publik digital. Media sosial telah berkembang menjadi sumber penting untuk mobilisasi massa dan pembentukan opini, yang berdampak pada identitas budaya dan reputasi artis. Fenomena ini juga memiliki efek sosial dan psikologis yang signifikan bagi pelaku, seperti stres, isolasi sosial, dan ketidakpastian karir. Studi ini menekankan bahwa untuk mempertahankan industri hiburan Indonesia di era global, regulasi etis media sosial, literasi digital, dan diskusi konstruktif antara pemangku kepentingan sangat penting untuk mengelola cancel culture secara lebih manusiawi dan konstruktif.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the social experiences of women entrepreneurs in the technology trade sector, particularly in facing social interactions influenced by gender bias, domestic stereotypes, ethnic discrimination, and environmental stigma. Using Alfred Schutz's phenomenological qualitative approach, this study explores the subjective meanings of the actions of female traders through in-depth interviews with five informants whose identities have been concealed. The results show that female traders face structural inequality in the form of professional belittlement, social exclusion, price injustice, and the spread of slander that affects business continuity. These findings also confirm that women's actions are shaped by because motives that stem from previous discriminatory experiences, and in-order-to motives that reflect their goals in maintaining professional identity and business stability. Overall, this study concludes that the technology trading space is not only an economic arena, but also a social arena where women negotiate meaning, develop survival strategies, and fight for self-legitimacy in an environment that is not yet fully gender-equal.

Abstract

The phenomenon of teenage girls wearing hijabs who smoke in Surabaya shows tension between religious identity, society's moral demands, and social dynamics that shape teen behavior. The hijab, seen as a symbol of piety, often puts women's bodies under strict moral scrutiny, while at the same time teens face pressure to fit in with their friends and digital culture. This study aims to understand the motivations, identity meanings, and the possibility that smoking is seen as a form of resistance to patriarchal norms. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were obtained through in-depth interviews and non-participatory observations of hijab-wearing adolescents aged 14–18 years, supplemented by a literature review on the social construction of women and radical feminist theory. The results show that motivation for smoking is the need for social acceptance, which is influenced by FOMO, peer pressure, and digital culture. This is reinforced by the ideological motive that this behavior reflects adolescents’ efforts to negotiate their sense of self. However, in certain contexts, smoking also serves as a form of symbolic resistance against patriarchal control over women’s bodies. This study concludedes that the identity of women who wear the hijab is not singular. It is shaped through complex interactions between social structures, popular culture, and personal experiences. These findings open up space for further research on the representation of women who wear the hijab in digital culture and its implications for the negotiation of gender identity in urban Muslim communities.

Abstract

This research examines what ideologies Film Television (FTv) offered during the COVID-19 pandemic and how these ideologies developed in the FTv using framing analysis and a gender perspective approach. Results indicate that there are two hidden ideologies as follows. First, the FTv production house carries a patriarchal ideology by raising themes that discriminate against women through stereotypes against women that appear in the story. Second, the FTv production house carries the ideology of feminism, with themes that position women as superordinate. Women occupy a higher social class than men. Women determine their own lives; even women have power over men. Academically, these findings are expected to add to the theoretical study in the sociology of communication and media research on how the power of knowledge in FTv affects the audience and contributes information, and enriches the development of research on gender relations and violence.

Abstract

The research aims to meticulously explore and analyze the manifestation of patriarchal culture depicted in the film "Barbie Live Action 2023". It employs a qualitative approach, focusing on scenes that vividly and deeply illustrate how patriarchal norms reflect within the presented gender context. Through meticulous data analysis, the identification of symbols, dialogues, and character interactions becomes the spotlight, highlighting and illustrating the reinforcement of strong patriarchal gender norms portrayed in the film. The study yields a profound understanding of how the film reinforces and portrays gender stereotypes both visually and narratively, unmistakably showcasing the conflict between two worlds, each reinforcing established gender paradigms.Within the framework of liberal feminism theory, this analysis provides clear insights into the construction of gender in visual media and the urgency for a shift in evolving gender perspectives within society. From the perspective of gender equality, "Barbie Live Action" serves not only as a complex elucidation of patriarchal culture but also as a call for a change in gender perspectives within society. The semiotic analysis and application of liberal feminist theory in this study offer profound insights into the messages of gender equality conveyed by the film and its broader impact on gender awareness within society.

Abstract

Instagram has become a major platform shaping the visibility of Muslim women in Indonesia’s beauty industry, where aesthetic appeal, religious symbolism, and commercial promotion are closely connected. Existing studies have discussed Muslim women’s identity performance, modest fashion, and influencer culture, but limited attention has been given to how misrepresentation is systematically produced through visual and discursive practices. This study aims to analyse how Muslim women are represented through the intersection of objectification and religious commodification within Instagram’s influencer economy. Using qualitative Critical Discourse Analysis, this study examines Instagram posts from five Indonesian Muslim women influencers, including images, captions, and audience interactions. The analysis reveals that physical appearance and religious identity function simultaneously as marketable resources, positioning Muslim women as aesthetic objects and symbolic carriers of religiosity in promotional practices. Beauty, modest fashion, luxury consumption, and domestic roles dominate representation, while intellectual and socio-cultural contributions receive limited visibility. This pattern indicates that misrepresentation is driven by platform visibility regimes, algorithmic selection, and commercial imperatives that transform religiosity into digital labour and reinforce gender inequality in digital environments.

Abstract

This study explores the meaning of “ideal dating” and gender role constructions in the experiences of students in Surabaya. Dating as a social phenomenon among students is a complex space where various values, norms, and societal expectations meet and negotiate. Using a qualitative approach with descriptive phenomenology, this study involved five students in Surabaya through purposive sampling and snowball sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews and analyzed using qualitative descriptive methods. The results show that “ideal dating” for Surabaya students is a dynamic social construct that emphasizes open communication, mutual emotional support, mutual understanding, and a commitment to growing together. Four main pillars were identified: communication and openness, mutual understanding and ego management, support as a manifestation of love, and role balance. Masculinity is still associated with financial responsibility and decision-making, while femininity is linked to emotional sensitivity and a supportive role. However, there is a strong tendency toward egalitarian relationship patterns, reflected in respondents' consistent rejection of the view that “men's love must be greater.” Social pressures such as academic demands, organizational commitments, and the influence of social media are negotiated through intense communication, ego management skills, and emotional adaptation. The study concludes that the meaning of ideal dating is shaped by the interaction between traditional values, modern demands, and evolving subjective experiences. This suggests that ideal dating is not fixed, but continuously negotiated by students within their social and personal contexts

Abstract

The rise of women's independence, or the phenomenon of the Independent Woman in various contexts, such as education, finances, and self-control, has created new expectations for partners and marriage. This study contributes to social and gender studies with the aim of subjectively analyzing how independent women negotiate forms of equality in marriage, examined from several aspects, including education, finances, decision-making, domestic roles, and emotional support. This study uses qualitative methods with a phenomenological approach and R.W. Connell's theory of masculine hegemony as an analytical tool. Subjects were determined using purposive sampling and snowball sampling techniques involving single and married women. The results show that there are differences in negotiation experiences based on the actual and prospective practices of independent women. These findings also confirm that independent women do not passively accept the hegemony of masculinity that still prevails in the realm of marriage, but rather apply it more flexibly according to their individual lives. By comparing the experiences of single and married independent women, which have rarely been studied empirically, this study is expected to reflect on the importance of real husband-wife partnerships in reducing the likelihood of inequality.

Abstract

This study examines how women in Indonesia construct smut manhwa as a safe space, and how this practice illustrates their agency in shaping sexual desire and gender relations within patriarchal structures. Using a phenomenological approach with four informants and three rounds of thematic coding, this study analyses data from online interviews. The findings reveal that women's agency operates ambivalently, simultaneously establishing hidden normative boundaries and negotiating alternatives to patriarchal norms. Women utilize digital resources to access restricted desires, continuously sorting and interpreting content reflectively. A comparison with China highlights how different forms of structural control (social stigma vs. state censorship) shape distinct forms of women's agency. This research contributes to the understanding of women not as passive consumers, but as reflective actors who continuously negotiate the meanings of desire, gender relations, and bodily autonomy within structural constraints.
